Much like the tale on which it’s based, Peter Pan & Wendy introduces Wendy Darling, a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind, who meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell, she travels with Peter to the magical world of Neverland. There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever.
While many of the beats and surroundings remain familiar, with Lowery crafting a Neverland realized with a grounded sense of reality and natural environments inhabited by fantastical beings such as mermaids and fairies, Wendy’s role in the story looks to have changed. Taking a more proactive role in the story, and partaking in sword-fighting herself, Peter Pan & Wendy looks to be living up to its title and giving Wendy as much of the spotlight as the literary hero.

As well as offering our first look at this latest iteration of Neverland, Peter, Wendy, and The Lost Boys (and girls), the trailer also reveals Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore star Jude Law as the infamous Captain Hook. Looking very different to anything we’ve seen from the actor before and sporting the red coat and hook-for-a-hand, Law could quite easily end up stealing the show.
